Arguably the most important thing in Metal...GUITARS, and the badasses that play them! We get it, Vocals are important too, but you can scream or growl all you want...if it doesn't have guitars, it's not Metal

Episode 390 - Jack Russell

A cool little track from 2023, came out of nowhere and I love it.

Song by me, title by my then 6 year old son. 

Thew rhythm guitar was the basis for etc rack and appeared while I was messing around with Devin Townsend's Open C tuning.

Every Way We Go Is Forwards

From my 2021 EP Rethink: My Sundays as a boy were characterised by Mum cooking Sunday roast with Joni Mitchell on the stereo and dad washing up with Bob Dylan on the stereo. Happy days. 

I played everything apart from the first solo, which was a gorgeous contribution from my friend in Greece Babis.

Sundays With Joni And Bob

INSTRUMENTAL ROCK IS ALIVE !! .......

 
... is the motto of the VAL EXPERIENCE BAND, the new project from rock-metal guitarist and composer Valéry Granson (aka Val).
Active in the music scene since the 90s, Valéry has recorded several albums, notably with 15REASONS (3 albums on CNR & Graviton) and Mingawash (2 albums), and played hundreds of  concerts in Europe, including the famous Szyget festival in Hungary.

Today, with the creation of the VAL EXPERIENCE BAND, Valéry is fulfilling one of his teenage dreams. As a fan of instrumental rock, which reached its peak in the 80s and 90s and still fascinates him, he decided to record his first solo album, OSMIUM.

His major influences lie somewhere between Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Andy Timmons, Joey Tafolla , Ritchie Kotzen, Jeff Beck , Jimi Hendrix, Paul Gilbert, Eric Johnson, Santana, Queen, Frank Zappa and many others.
 
The OSMIUM album will be available from 13 September 2024 through Graviton Music  and contains 13 tracks that will take listeners on a journey through rock, blues, hard rock and acoustic ballads, all spiced up with the distinctive Val Experience Band style.

OSMIUM was produced at NOISE FACTORY by Gerald Jans, chosen for his skills as a sound engineer, his attentive ear, his musical complicity and his experience (Channel Zero, Machiavel).


Musicians :
• Valery Granson : lead guitars 
• Martin Moreau  : Drums
• François Hantson  : Bass
• Nicolas D’Avell  : Keys studio
• Christopher Cansier : Keys (Live)
• Adrien Peustjens (Rythm guitars Live)

The Storyteller. The Outcast. The Rebel. 
The Shred Doctor is here with the Cure that nobody ordered. 
The Wild Spirits was spawned from the mind of Marec .K, who sees music as a vast buffet as opposed to different genres. 
"It's like a big ass stew, you throw in a bit of this and a bit of that, like things that you're into, to create your unique flavour of audio tastiness"
This music is flawlessly executed with a rawness that just feels pure and more old school in the sense that it has attitude and conviction. The guitar work is beautifuly executed and you never know just what to expect vocally from Multi-instrumentalist/Vocalist/Producer Marec .K. He is always pushing the boundaries and evolving musically and vocally as well as tackling a variety of provocative world issues.
No auto tune or AI or borrowed beats or fake content, this is real...pure...and from the heart.  
Influences are many rock and metal related bands & artists from the 60's through to 90's like Led Zeppelin, The Who, Leonard Cohen, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Van Halen, Jeff Buckley, Extreme, Chris Cornell, Steve Vai, Pantera, Megadeth but The Wild Spirits have a very unique sound that stands alone from other artists.

Hard Rock / Metal Podcast. The show features interviews from Rock n Roll Hall of Famers to emerging artists.

Blues-Rock Solo Artist - Guitars Ron Keel Band
www.StevePurcellMusic.com  
For years, as a professional guitar player and session player based out of Nashville, I've been on the road in the bands of many major & indie country/rock artists. 
Short Bio:
I've played with, or shared the stage with, many national acts, such as Paul Stanley (KISS), Stephen Pearcy (RATT), Jack Blades (Night Ranger), Mark Slaughter (Slaughter), Kip Winger (Winger), Don Dokken (Dokken),  Foghat, Ron Keel (KEEL), Montgomery Gentry, Night Ranger, Carrie Underwood, C.C.R., Josh Turner, Skid Row, Mark Chesnutt, Joe Cocker, Darryl Worley, Asia, Little Big Town, Pat Travers, Trace Atkins, Mark Wills, Ron Keel, David Lee Murphy, Marty Stuart, Craig Morgan, Dolly Parton, Big & Rich, Hank Williams Jr., The Outlaws, Trini Triggs, Jeff Bates, Sawyer Brown and many more. 

I hail from a long musical family line, including my late first cousin Denny Purcell, owner and mastering engineer of Georgetown Masters Studios, Nash.TN. (his clients included Garth Brooks, Kansas, Willie Nelson, Neil Young); my luthier-to-the-stars cousin Shayne Owens (Patty Loveless, Kip Winger, Thom Bresh); and my grandfather William Cecil Purcell, who played banjo with Red Foley. And, then there was Henry Purcell, the famous 17th century composer who composed many songs for the court of Queen Mary.

I make maximally orchestral rock guitar music. 

I've got a background in rock, jazz and prog and have turned that into the music you're listening to right now.
